Patent CA-2175516-A1 (CA)
Title: Triangular hand massager
Inventor: GOULDING-THOMPSON BONNIE L
IPC: A61H7/00
Filed: 1996-05-01
Abstract: An aesthetic and highly functional massage tool is disclosed which comprises a generally triangular frame adapted to be held in the palm of one hand.  It has three leg members, each leg member extending generally from a bottom side corner portion of the frame a height generally exceeding the thickness of a finger.  Each leg having a generally rounded bottom portion.  The legs and triangular frame are monolithically molded from plastic.  In the preferred embodiment the triangular frame has a generally triangular void which extends wholly therethrough and is sufficiently large to accommodate insertion of fingers along a side thereof.  This triangular design enables one to securely and comfortably hold the massage tool in multiple positions while during use.  This is important because use in any one position tires particular muscles of the massageur.  It also facilitates massaging different body portions in differing manners.  The triangular void facilitates wrapping one's fingers around the massage tool.  It enables one to slide the tool along while pushing downwardly on it.  One's hand effortlessly falls within the triangular void and over the exterior of the triangular frame sufficiently to prevent the tool from slipping out from beneath one's hand.  The triangular void also allows one to massage holding the tool in an upright position.  In the most preferred embodiment the generally triangular frame has the shape of a heart and the plastic is marbled in more than one color.
Patent CA-2175602-A1 (CA)
Title: Filtering method and apparatus
Inventor: ENGDAHL HOLGER
IPC: B01D29/50
Filed: 1994-10-27
Abstract: The present invention relates to a filtering method, in which the suspension to be filtered is passed into contact with the filtering surface of the filter element, whereby due to the pressure difference prevailing across the filtering surface the filtrate flows through the filtering surface and separated solids substantially remain in the sus-pension. According to the invention the suspen-sion to be filtered is passed to flow downwards along the filtering surface, whereby the filtering through the filtration surface takes place from the falling film and the separated solids are dis-charged with the falling film without forming a harmful solids layer on the filtering surface. An even liquid film falling on the filtering surface is generated by recirculating suspension from the bottom of the filter to the upper part of the filter element. The invention also relates to an ap-paratus for realizing the method, which may be applied especially for clarifying green liquor.

Title: Biometric identification process and system
Inventor: PRICE-FRANCIS STEPHEN
IPC: G07C9/00
Filed: 1996-08-30
Abstract: A system for verifying that a card possessor is the authorized card owner compares scanned fingerprint data with fingerprint data encoded on an optical card.  More than one of the person's fingerprints are encoded on the card, and the process of identification of the card possessor involves the random selection of separate fingerprints for scanning and comparison against the encoded fingerprints.  A card reader/writer reads fingerprint characteristic information from an optical card inserted therein and a processing unit, connected to a fingerprint scanner and card reader/writer extracts from the scanned fingerprint certain well known indicators, and matches the recorded fingerprint characteristic data with the scanned fingerprint characteristics to establish identity therebetween.
Patent CA-2185622-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MATTILA ROBERT J
IPC: A62B9/02
Filed: 1996-09-16
Abstract: A self-registering piston for an pressure regulator that minimizes variability of the target regulated pressure. The pressure regulator valve includes a valve body having a valve seat interposed between an inlet port supplying unregulated pressure and an outlet port. A piston having a piston seat at a first end and a counter-force surface on the second end is positioned to translate axially from an engaged position when a piston seat is engaged with a valve seat and a disengaged position. A biasing mechanism is provided to bias the piston toward the disengaged position. The pressure regulator includes a passageway extending generally from proximate the piston seat to the counter-force surface to couple the counter-force surface with the regulated pressure. The regulated pressure acts on the counter-force surface in opposition to the combination of the unregulated pressure acting on the piston seat, the deformation force necessary to deform the piston seat and achieve an air-tight seal, and the biasing mechanism acting on the piston. A retaining mechanism is provided for releasably retaining the piston seat to the valve seat. A guide mechanism is provided for maintaining a fixed rotational orientation of the piston seat with respect to the valve seat so that a substantially identical rotational orientation is achieved when the piston is removed and reinserted into the valve body.
